Low Carb good for eliminating headaches
Here's something I saw on the internet...
An Added Benefit of a Low-Carb Diet
By Jon Herring
Eating a low-carb diet might do more than improve your health and help you shed a few pounds. Cutting carbs can also relieve headaches.
A study performed at Albert Einstein College of Medicine showed that a low-carbohydrate diet reduced the frequency and severity of headaches in regular sufferers. Half of those surveyed said they attained the same kind of relief from the diet as they did from migraine medication.
One explanation? Gluten - which is found in wheat and other cereal grains - has been linked to migraines. In fact, an Italian study found that migraine sufferers were 10 times more likely to have a gluten intolerance than the general population.
If you have frequent headaches, you should be tested for gluten sensitivity (also known as celiac disease). Cutting out the carbs, especially those made from grains, could be the solution you are looking for.
